44. Collections: namedtuple

namedtuple creates tuple-like objects with named fields.

Example​

from collections import namedtuple

Point = namedtuple("Point", ["x", "y"])
p = Point(3, 4)
print(p.x, p.y)

Benefits​

  • Lightweight alternative to classes
  • Readable field names instead of indices

Wrap-Up​

Use namedtuple when you need immutable, lightweight records.
